Full job description
Astranis builds advanced satellites for high orbits, expanding humanity’s reach into the solar system. Today, Astranis satellites provide dedicated, secure networks to highly-sophisticated customers across the globe— large enterprises, sovereign governments, and the US military. With five satellites on orbit and many more set to launch soon, the company is servicing a backlog of more than $1 billion of commercial contracts.
Astranis is the preferred satellite communications partner for buyers with stringent requirements for uptime, data security, network visibility, and customization. Astranis has raised over $750 million from some of the world’s best investors, from Andreessen Horowitz to Blackrock and Fidelity, and employs a team of 450 engineers and entrepreneurs. Astranis designs, builds, and operates its satellites out of its 153,000 sq. ft. headquarters in Northern California, USA.
Radiation Effects Engineer Intern (Fall 2026)
Internships at Astranis typically last for twelve weeks, and are hourly roles designed for students who are currently enrolled at a four-year university.
As our Radiation Effects Intern, you will be supporting the modeling, analysis, and rigorous electrical testing of actual spacecraft hardware within the space radiation environment. You will have a direct impact on our space vehicles by characterizing electrical component degradation and executing hardware testing at various laboratories across the U.S.
If you have already graduated from a four-year university, please apply to be an Associate Engineer.
Role:
Evaluate and electrically test fault-tolerant electrical systems operating in a radiation environment
Assist in creating electrical test plans, developing test fixtures, and documenting test activities and results. Practice efficient issue diagnosis and draft clear documentation for review by the team
Support radiation testing campaigns to up-screen components for TID and SEE, focusing on electrical parametric characterization before, during, and after exposure
Work in a cross-discipline manner across teams to inform their decisions with regards to radiation considerations
Support test development and early-stage activities, which include breadboarding electrical circuits, automated test setup verification, and basic cable harness fabrication
Requirements:
Currently pursuing a B.S. in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related engineering field
A passion for hardware development, including working in a fast-paced environment and hands-on electrical testing and troubleshooting
Strong proficiency with essential electronics lab equipment, including the standard use of oscilloscopes, multimeters, power supplies, and source meter units
Experience with Altium Designer (or other PCB design software) for schematic capture and board layout
Demonstrated ability to personally design, build, and rigorously test electrical hardware from scratch
US Citizenship or Green Card
Don't meet them all? Not a problem. Please apply even if you do not meet all these criteria
Bonus:
Familiarity with the space radiation environment and effects on semiconductor devices
Experience with SPICE-based simulators (LTSpice, PSPICE, ADS, etc.) to simulate circuit behavior and faults
Comfortable with soldering, rework, and building specialized test harnesses
Familiarity with fundamental electronics concepts and components (integrated circuits, PCBAs, sensors) and how to benchmark their performance
Experience with radiation transport software (FastRAD, Novice, MCNPX, etc.)
The base pay for this position is $29.00 per hour.
Base Hourly Pay
$29—$29 USD
U.S. Citizenship, Lawful Permanent Residency, or Refugee/Asylee Status Required
(To comply with U.S. Government space technology export regulations, applicant must be a U.S. citizen, lawful permanent resident of the United States, or other protected individual as defined by 8 U.S.C. 1324b(a)(3))
Our mission and our products are meant to connect the world and everyone in it, regardless of gender, race, creed, or any other distinction. We believe in a diverse and inclusive workplace, and we encourage all people to join our team and bring their unique perspective to help make us stronger.

Astranis builds low-cost satellites for high orbits.
Our first product, MicroGEO, offers the world’s lowest-cost satellite broadband. Operating in geostationary orbit, each MicroGEO satellite can provide dedicated satellites to small and medium-sized countries, Fortune 1000 companies, and other commercial customers. Astranis has built a $1 billion backlog for 12+ MicroGEO satellites launching over the next two years.
Astranis also offers services across orbits and use cases. With contracts in place with Space Force, NASA, and other government partners, Astranis is working across MEO and GEO to support government science, PNT, and communications missions.
Astranis has raised $750 million from top global investors and employs a team of over 400 engineers and builders, headquartered at Historic Pier 70 in San Francisco, California.
